WHY WAS THE CLUB STARTED?
Make bricks, sell in community and then with "profit" build homes for child headed households
ACTIVITIES:
Make quality bricks that can be sold in communities and get buy in from construction
TARGET:
The beneficiaries of this project are school children between the ages of 6-16. These children benefit by having a positive alternative to spending their time within abusive environments, as well as providing positive role models. Many of the children previously spent their time hanging around taverns and other areas where they were at risk of either being abused or recruited to join crime syndicates. It has been empirically proven that children who go on to become juvenile delinquents and then criminals, have all had a history of some form of abuse. Peer pressure today is a reality and with the increase in gang culture, these children need to form positive peer groups in order to refrain from joining delinquent peer groups.
IMPACT:
The impact of the programme is measured through the continuing attendance of the children. We have also witnessed the growth in all areas as well as the establishment and continued growth in new areas. The ‘Indigenous Competition’, held twice a year, has also grown from 120 to 721 within a 2 year period. The Indigenous Games’ teams give the children an opportunity to belong and also keep them in touch with their culture. We are hoping to start cricket, soccer, netball, drama and poetry groups in order to provide continuing support for all children. We realise that not all children want to participate in Indigenous Games, but this way there is a group to belong to according to each individuals passion. Drama and poetry enables children a positive outlet for any emotional pain. Drama allows the children a safe space in which to come to terms with issues within their environment, and is seen as extremely therapeutic.

WHAT SUPPORT WE NEED:
Staff Needs
There is a desperate need for a project coordinator as well as some facilitators with Indigenous Games knowledge
Funding Needs
We need stipends for the volunteers who have tirelessly devoted their time to helping these children; we also need funds in order to train more volunteers to work at the schools.
Other Needs
Cricket, soccer and Indigenous Games’ equipment in order to get the clubs going.
